A shard of light slowly rolls down the hillside and into the glen to separate the shadows. That wee stubby figure is me against the light. A braw morning in the Southern Uplands looking down the Talla Water towards Nickies Knowe.
Today is the opening of the viewing platform at The Shard, giving the highest views of London, lets hope for good weather!!! I have tickets for today, anyone else heading up?
Working on a project that is seeing me trawl my hard drive for cityscape scenes that I used to do loads of when I was based in London.
The tip of the shard glows green for Christmas. (Among red and blue and white and sometimes it sparkles)
The Shard, also referred to as the Shard of Glass, Shard London Bridge and formerly London Bridge Tower, is a 95-storey skyscraper in Southwark, London, that forms part of the London Bridge Quarter development. Standing 309.7 metres (1,016 ft) high, the Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, the fourth-tallest building in Europe and the 96th-tallest building in the world. It is also the second-tallest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom. Wikipedia

One of the colors of the Shard Christmas lights. This one was my favorite. If you want to see a video of the lights changing please head over to my Instagram page and there is a video up there of it.
The Shard is the tallest building in the UK. It is 309.6m tall, and sits on the South Bank of the River Thames close to London bridge. The architect was Renzo Piano, and the building was inaugurated in 2012.

The view over London towards the Shard in the blue hour.
The Shard was designed in 2000 by Renzo Piano, an Italian architect previously best known for creating Paris’s Pompidou Centre in collaboration with Britain’s Richard Rogers. That year, the London-based entrepreneur Irvine Sellar decided to redevelop Southwark Towers, a 1970s office block next to London Bridge station, and flew to Berlin in March 2000 to meet Piano for lunch. According to Sellar, the architect spoke of his contempt for tall buildings during the meal, before flipping over the restaurant’s menu and sketching an iceberg-like sculpture emerging from the River Thames. He was inspired by the railway lines next to the site, the London spires depicted by the 18th-century Venetian painter Canaletto, and the masts of sailing ships.
Every evening after dusk the Shard has been lit a different colour on every quarter of an hour. Caught this from the other side of London Bridge.

Happy New Year to you all!
Broken wine bottle.
Image shows about 1.6 cm wide edge of dangerously sharp broken edge.
I love the way the conchoidal fractures show up so well.

Quite a dangerous project, but no blood spilled yet - still to tidy up. No wine was wasted here.

A close up view of the Shard In London. Not much else to say.
After yet another shower had passed by the sky lit the Shard up like a beacon, taken from the Millennium Bridge
The Walkie Talkie building and The Shard communicating through reflective light over the River Thames.
Opened in 1914, the multidisciplinary Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is Canada's biggest natural-history museum and one of the largest museums in North America. I love the synergy between the original heritage buildings at the main entrance on Bloor St and the 2007 addition of 'the Crystal,' which appears to pierce the original structure and juts out into the street like a massive shard – Toronto, Canada.
The Shard is 309m tall skyscraper. It is the tallest building in the UK and the European Union.
Дъ Шард е небостъргач висок над 309 метра, най-висока сграда във Великобритания.
Continuing a run of London City Scenes on Flickr. Its no secret the Shard is my favourite building in the city, but I think it looks even more special when the lights come on.
Completed last year the Shard now dominates the London Skyline. I can see it from my neighbourhood 9 miles away. It costs £25 to get to the observation tower. I've not been up there yet. One day soon.
This was taken from the public platform on the north side of the Thames which overlooks the brightly lit, London bridge.
This is "The Shard" tallest building in London a magnificent structure taken from Tower Bridge.
Thanks as always for your kind comments and support :-)
Busy week, but managed a quick stop at The Shard during my commute. Thought I would try an in-camera multiple-exposure (something I have never done before) inspired by the great Mr McGarry
Late evening shot of the Shard with fog starting to form around the top; lights from the busy office workers; and a ray of light illuminated the elevation
